Are you trying to add your synology music library to your Sonos? Here is a quick video on how to do it.
Prerequisites:
- Your sonos need to be in the same network as your NAS
- Your music needs to be stored in the \music folder (default folder created by synology)
- You need a user account with at a minimum read access to the music folder
You will need….
To set up the synology you will need:
Path to your synolgoy: \\ipaddressofyoursynology\music
Account: Either you create an account for your sonos or you use an account that have access to the music folder.
And here is how you do it:

Yeah. Allowing SMB1 is a bad idea and SONOS does not support anything else.
There are several other ways to get the music from you nas to your sonos speakers.
The ones i have tested are
1 – If you like plex: (i hate plex but this one is probably the easy way)
Install plex server on synology nas and then add plex as a music service in your synology app.
2 – If you want to use the SONOS library:
Using a Virtual DMS instance that runs SMB1 and only has read only access to my music to avoid enabeling SMB1 on my host DSM.
3 – If you dislike all of the above 🙂
SONOS speakers can play music from UPNP media servers on your network….. Synology has a native UPNP media server aptly named ‘media server’. For some odd reason SONOS can not seem to use the Synology media server 😦 BUT you can install a lot of other media servers on your synology via docker. My current solution is running subsonic on my Synology via docker. This works with no problems for me.

On Pt 2 “Your music needs to be stored in the \music folder (default folder created by synology”
I had no trouble using another folder. Just add the custom path to \\ipaddressofyoursynology\PATH

Yes, I noticed the same when I did that recently. They might have changed it !

I have just added a DS218+ to replace my ageing DS107 and copied my music library across, but SONOS cannot access the new Synology. Sonos can still access and add music from the old Synology and I can play music on the new Synology using VLC; so firewall and permissions cannot be the problem. Suggestions?
